Animated self-portrait (my father coming through)

[Thomasin Dewhurst]

Here is a self-portrait I thought I would post. It doesn't actually look like me, but more like my father. This happened unintentionally as I was changing my facial expression while I was painting to get the painting to work. So I named it "Self-portrait (my father coming through)".

I thought I would post it after reading Alexandra Tyng's comment about having to wait until she started looking like her father before she could paint him. I have not been able emotionally to directly paint my father since he died a couple of year's ago, so this might be, perhaps, an indirect way of doing it.
